I purchased a new JVC GR-D73AS cam corder and got USB cable. I connected this to PC and installed image mixer software. when play from Cam corder to PC, it plays but can see only Green screen. Can anyone help? Secondly want to use same as Webcam for Yahoo. how can i achieve this? Free download software are trial and not streaming live cam but shows their Logo.. please help delhi_m35@yahoo.com

I'd like to use my sony camcorder (pdx10) as a webcam. I have read the posts here about streaming. My camera is supposed to stream from its USB port. I have read in numerous places it can be used as a webcam, but I seem to have problems activating it. I installed the USB drivers from Sony, and when I plug in the camcorder i hear a sound and see "SONY USB device recognized." But tyhat does not get me a picture. I use MSN and Yahoo. They found my old cheap dedicated webcam just fine. Yes, some people do it through firewire, but why when that is what USB is for? The reviews say you can use it as a webcam with "netmeeting and similar applications." Are MSN and YAHOO similar applications? Anyone willing to mentor me step by step? B

I have purchased SONY HDR-30 E recently.I am just confused with the movie download software provided with it.First of all I am downloading movies using USB cable ,and not Firewire card. I am not able to download movie with the same series of frames as these were recorded on TAPE.I mean to say "software forces to choose some options before start downloading".And original movie frames order is edited by software autmatically.There is not any option to choose "downloading original movie.

2.) Download speed is very much slow.it takes 30 an hour to download a 2-3 minutes movie.

So should i use any other companies software,for downloading the original and clear movie.

hi! can anyone please send me a copy of the cd software of JVC gr-d200u? i would appreciate it very much... TIA! =) rcie07@yahoo.com (do all jvc camcorders have the same cd software included in the box?)

Im having trouble with a JVC GR-DVL167EK camcorder and windows XP. The camcorder uses firewire and has woked fine on my old ME desktop using a firewire card i purchased and installed separately, but is not recognised by my newer XP laptop with a preinstalled firewire card. Im using the same firewire cable as I used with ME when the device worked fine. Also, I use the firewire port with my external hard drive, using the same cable as mentioned before, with no problems. However, I cannot get XP to recognise my camcorder. I have all the software that came with the camcorder installed, along with MGI Videowave 5, the same software I used to successfully capture and edit videos with on ME. Also, the camcorder is still recognised, using the aforementioned cable and card, on my ME desktop. This leads me to the conclusion that the firewire cable, card and the camcorder are all working fine, so there must be a problem with XP.

I have visited a number of message boards on the same topic and have tried many things to sort this including installing XP service pack 2, turning the camcorder into different modes before and during me being logged into XP and renaming files in windows. I have also checked my manual multiple times and have checked the JVC website but none of the downloads are of any help. If anyone has any suggestions they would be much appreciated because this is beginning to annoy me slightly...

Well, Folks...I just bought a JVC GR-D33U and got a firewire cable for it. I tried connecting it up to my "new-ish" Gateway (eMachines) 816GM CPU running Windows XP with a built-in VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller. The first couple of times I tried to capture video using the JVC-supplied Imagemixer 7.0 software and Windows Moviemaker, my computer recognized the camera as a "generic" camcorder, and I could control the camera from the computer screen, but could not complete the capture...no video appeared on the software monitor, and after ending the capture session, I got an error message saying "Video failed to capture properly" or something like that. After poking around the Internet and trying various fixes that didn't work, I found a post that recommended an IEEE 1394 "patch" to fix a recognition proble inherent in Windows SP2. I downloaded and installed the patch. Unfortunately, now my computer will not recognize that the camera is connected. At least I hope this is the problem. In the course of trying various crazy fixes, I may have disconnected the battery pack while the camera was connected to the ac adapter and firewire...any chance this might have shorted the firewire connection in the camera? The computer diagnostics say the internal card is fine, and all on-board camera functions are OK. Anyway, if anyone has a suggestion on how to proceed from here, I'd appreciate hearing it.

Thanks.

Im in the market for a laptop and prefer an ultralite (such as sonly vaio T-series or panasonic e-lite). however, one of my intended uses for a computer is to create DVD's from numerous DV-tape home movies i have. reading the stories above about video capture frustrations by hardware and software is horrifying me. the MAC notebooks have DVI inputs and are supposedly plug-and-play on this front. are there any equivalent PC notebooks out there that are highly portable?

I've also got a JVC GR-D33U. I'm a bit puzzled by the behavior of the firewire port. So far, I can get it working fine as long as I use a short (3 ft long) firewire cable. This confirmed on 3 separate PCs. Once I use a longer firewire cable, (I'm on my 2nd 6 ft try), it fails. Perhaps this advice will help someone experiencing similar issues.

I have a zr80,i want to connect the camcorder to my pc running win98,has a firewire port.Do i need additional software?Canon says no.But I am not getting anywhere.Help!

Oh jeeze. So I just spent my last seven hundred dollars on a new computer. And when choosing the Mother board I turned down the firewire. I had a feeling doing so would bite me in the behind.

I have a JVC GR-DX77 camera and three movies to edit in the next week. And like 7 or 8 USBs. Is there any other possible way to transfer video to PC than Firewire?

Thanks- Cane Enable

Hi everyone, I have a Sony TRV110E Digital8 camera. I am having a problem that is as follows: I have professional lights in which i shoot some religious videos indoors. After recording when i view this on my TV, it looks good and sharp. But when i transfer this to my PC with the help of IEEE 1394, the video sort of blurs. What could be wrong here? any help would be apprecited.

I bought a DCR-TRV530E digital camcorder.I am able to transfer stills using USB. But i couldn't transfer vedios from the camera to my computer. Please tell me how to transfer the videos from the sony DCR-TRV530E camera to my PC. Please tell me the versions of the extra cable if i need to buy. Please e-mail the details to sweetypeter@yahoo.co.in

I have a JVC GR-D70U and a compaq presario 2108. It has no firewire output. I was looking at USB/Firewire combo hubs, but it doesn't look like they're adapter/converters. I also found a dv to usb transfer cable at http://www.pixela-1.com as well as pcmcia firewire cards which would probably solve the problem.

Will a combo hub work for video transfer?

Also, will the pcmcia firewire card and usb/firewire transfer cable transfer video at a much slower rate? I'm looking for the best option here if anyone has any suggestions.

For the jvc cameras, I have the gr-d200u does this take the IEEE1394 Firewire cable as well? And does it come with it or do you need to buy it? And could someone send a link to show me what it looks like.

I have bought this JVC GR-DVL910a Digital Video Camera some time ago.Recently i have taken some videos and would like to transfer it to my PC.The usb slot only transfers Still images.I have an S-video on both my pc and camera.How do i make it work or what other alternatives should i use to connect and transfer?Please help

I'm guessing, but I suspect that the S-video socket on your PC is an output, i.e. no good for capturing video.

Have you considered getting a firewire card? Both PCI and PCMCIA versions are available and they are pretty cheap. There's plenty of stuff on these pages about how to get started.

Cheers.

Hello,

I have a Camcorder JVC GR-DVL505. It was working very well with windows 98. Now, I am not able to connect it with USB to my computer running with XP. Do you have a driver working with XP (drivers dowload from JVC site are not working) or any advice about how to connect and install my GR-DVL505 on my XP? Thanks

I have a GR D33U JVC DV camcorder and am trying to download footage onto my PC. It is connected via firewire (DV cable). But problems exist. Computer detects connection of the connected firewire, but no data is transferred. I have a firewire card and have been told by a technician at Pixela, that I need to update the driver to my firewire card and he said that he knew this to be the case. How would I go about doing this and where would I find it?

Take your camcorder to your local PC store and tell them what you want to do. They will check that your camcorder does indeed have a firewire port (some Sonys don't) and assuming it does, sell you a computer card, cable and software bundle for around $30.

To all JVC users: To transfer DV to PC I have made it work using the ImageMixer V1.7 that came with my GR-D72U. The only catch is you have to install the program 4 times! And only USB2 works and captures video!! I called JVC July 5 and the call person told me that's how to make it work. Microsoft says Windows Movie Maker does not support Mpeg and doesn't like 2 hour mode recordings. Of the 3 capture programs on my fairly new Compaq PC, ImageMixer is the only one that captures video. I'm glad I finally got something that will work, but I'm still trying to use firewire so I'm still looking for a fix.

hi all, same problem, I have jvc grd32 mini dv. I have ulead and pinnical they bot see my camcoder but the video wont show or save. I need image mixer. Anyone know how I can get it? I am using an ieee cabke to connect the camera

I have the Canon ZR80, and for awhile everything was fine, but lately my computer will not recognize my computer no matter what. I even took my computer in to get the firewire tested, and was told that everything works fine. Unfortunately I was not able to take my camera in to get it tested with my computer, so I was wondering if there is any kind of driver I could download that would help? I am running Windows XP. Thanks!

Although there does seem to be a lot of people running XP SP2 who are having problems at the moment, the fact that the store checked out your PC makes me think you should try to find a friend with a firewire equipped computer so you can test your camcorder. DV ports can fail. For example, JVC advise that plugging the firewire cable in while the camera is switched on can destroy the firewire port.

If you successfully test out your camcorder, please post again for further help.

Hey everyone, I have a JVC GR53 and i misplaced the CD for the video editing (that came with the camcorder) and i also misplaced the manual that instructed you on how to install the camera to transfer footage onto ur computer. If anyone knows how to make my JVC GR53 work on my Windows XP computer this would be an enormous help. Thanks. Please Reply. Thanks again.

i have JVC GR-DVX507A and I lost the manual and i need to find a way to delete the bettery signs, and the 12bit per sound signs from my video...I don't want them to appear on the video when I edit it..can u all please please please help me find a way to make them dissapear?..!!

Hi, I installed the Roxio Videowave software 7.5 on my Sony Laptop. I observed following (something strange). 1. My Windows Explorere crashes if I scroll down. 2. My Windows Media player stops displaying the images after 6 seconds. If we move the pointer to 7th sec, it works further for 6 more seconds. 3. It's the same for Real Player too.

When I uninstalled the Videowave, all these 3 started working well. What could be wrong ?

can someone please please help me, I've had my gr-dx77 for almost a year but i cant get the drivers for it anywhere!!! does anyone know where i can get them or maybe email me the apps if you have the disk? PLEASEEEEEE

Hi all , I have my JVC GR-D53AS camcorder.I want to transfer videos to my PC. As i read here i understand it can be done using a firewire card and cable. Iam ready to buy a firewire card and cable.

hi , I have Panasonic PV GS150 camcorder. I don't know much about camcorder. I just connected my laptop( win XP) to camcorder using USB cable( supports USB2) . I was able to copy the tape using DV Motin software provided with the camcorder. But next time when I connected it is not identifying the camcorder. Using DV motion when selected input it displayed a msg'no video device is connected with the computer'. In MyComputer is recognise it as removable disk. any help would be apprecited.

I've spent 5 hours + looking for a fix to this - windows says its a driver problem and to get an update from manufacturer, I can't find one on your site. when hooking up my GR-D74U via I-DV there is no video transferring to the video programs like windows movie maker or adobe elements. I'm using windows XP Media Ceter Edition 2005, have 1GB of memory, amd 64X2 so there's no shortage of system here. the CONTROLS in the programs control the camera OK, but no video will come thru! H E L P PLease!

Hello all, I am new to this forum, oh well, didn't even register, shame on me. Now, I need help.

I have a JVC GR-D53, and when I connect it via USB to my computer, it says "new software found", but it can't be installed because a driver is missing. So, Cana nyone link me to a driver-download for Window XP? I have searched, but can't find anything. Thanks in advance,

Hi, I have a JVC GR-D53 Video Camera and have lost the disk that came with it, have been able to get the driver and now xp sees the camera but need the imagemixer program to download my videos can anyone help please

I don't know if my laptop has Firewire card installed in it . But for sure it has one port with 1394 written on it.

As per my thinking what I have to do for Transferring Movie from Camcorder to Laptop is: 1. Connect Laptop and Camorder with Firewire cable. 2. Using a good Video editing Software, transfer/ edit the recorded data to my laptop. 3. Burn onto DVD/ CD.

Please correct me if I am wrong. I am not sure if my Laptop has IEEE 1394 card installed in it .

Eagerly waiting for your precious suggestions...

jvc's manuals are very stupid pieces of work that tell you almost nothing. they only tell you how to hook up usb (and dv) which CANNOT take your video off your tape and onto your computer. it can take video off a memory card, however. to get video off of a tape, connect a FIREWIRE cable to your camera and to your computer. the computer should recognize the connection. if not, search for your camera on jvc's website, they have the necessary drivers.

For JVC, You just need the CAM and the firewire cable(you can get it in Ebay, Very cheap). Just switch on your cam, connect the cable in you computer USB port and the other end in the cam where it say "DV". If the OS is XP it will automatically recognise and open a popup asking for "capture video". If you click enter, It will open the movie maker and the wizard will help you to proceed till grabbing the video. Its very simple.

I have NVDS65 camcoder. I donot have firewire port on my computer. Can I convert MiniDV to CD through USB port. It would be great if somebody guides me through the process. Further, I have got drivers CD scratched. Can sombody also forward drivers for the same or

Gulshan, No you cannot convert via USB. Firewire as it has been discussed on this thread is the only way to transfer your video.

like many of you I have problems with XP sp2 & 1394: My JVC GR-D350AG is connected w/firewire to my LG notebok. The camera is correctly controled from the computer which means the firewire works. However the video is corrupted (in any format) by movie maker capture and can't be stored (captures only pics of the movie instead of the movie itself). many of you talked of downloading an XP patch for 1394 (Update for Windows XP (KB885222)) but some said it created more problems. Can anybody help and recommend a valid patch for XP & 1394 or any other idea ?

A friend told me that I could use a VCR deck, but all the VCR decks that I searched for are not compatable with this camera Is there any other solution?
